Background and Objectives: SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 3 (Shank3) proteins play crucial roles as neuronal postsynaptic scaffolds. Alongside neuropsychiatric symptoms, individuals with SHANK3 mutations often exhibit symptoms related to dysfunctions in other organs, including the heart. However, detailed insights into the cardiac functions of Shank3 remain limited. This study aimed to characterize the cardiac phenotypes of Shank3-overexpressing transgenic mice and explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Cardiac histological analysis, electrocardiogram and echocardiogram recordings were conducted on Shank3-overexpressing transgenic mice. Electrophysiological properties, including action potentials and L-type Ca2+ channel (LTCC) currents, were measured in isolated cardiomyocytes. Ca2+ homeostasis was assessed by analyzing cytosolic Ca2+transients and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ contents. Depolarization-induced cell shortening was examined in cardiomyocytes. Immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometrybased identification was employed to identify proteins in the cardiac Shank3 interactome.Western blot and immunocytochemical analyses were conducted to identify changes in protein expression in Shank3-overexpressing transgenic cardiomyocytes. Results: The hearts of Shank3-overexpressing transgenic mice displayed reduced weight and increased fibrosis. In vivo, sudden cardiac death, arrhythmia, and contractility impairments were identified. Shank3-overexpressing transgenic cardiomyocytes showed prolonged action potential duration and increased LTCC current density. Cytosolic Ca2+ transients were increased with prolonged decay time, while sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ contents remained normal. Cell shortening was augmented in Shank3-overexpressing transgenic cardiomyocytes. The cardiac Shank3 interactome comprised 78 proteins with various functions. Troponin I levels were down-regulated in Shank3-overexpressing transgenic cardiomyocytes. Conclusions This study revealed cardiac dysfunction in Shank3-overexpressing transgenic mice, potentially attributed to changes in Ca2+ homeostasis and contraction, with a notable reduction in troponin I.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dupilumab combined with 2％cleboride ointment in the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis,as well as its impact on serological indica-tors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 67 patients with moderate to se-vere atopic dermatitis(AD)admitted to the Department of Dermatology of Shaoxing University Affiliated Hospital from March 2021 to December 2024.The study subjects were divided into an experimental group(n=35)and a control group(n=32)according to the treatment method.The experimental group was treated with Dupilumab injection and 2％Cleboride ointment,while the control group was treated with ebastine tab-lets and 2％cleboride ointment.Clinical and related serological indicators of patients after 16 weeks of treat-ment were collected,and the itch digital scale score,eczema area and severity(EASI)score,IL-4,IL-13 levels,and incidence of local skin adverse reactions were analyzed before and after treatment in both groups.Results The total effective rate of the experimental group after treatment was 94.29％(33/35),which was higher than the control group[53.13％(17/32)],and the difference was statistically significant(x2=12.862,P＜0.001).There was no statistically significant difference in symptom scores,IL-4,and IL-13 levels between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the symptom scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The lev-els of IL-4 and IL-13 in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was 2.86％(1/35),significantly lower than the 34.38％(11/32)in the control group,and the difference was sta-tistically significant(x2=9.252,P=0.002).Conclusion The combination of dupilumab injection and 2％cleboride ointment is effective in relieving skin symptoms,regulating cellular immune function,reducing in-flammatory reactions,and minimizing local skin adverse reactions in patients with moderate to severe AD.It is worthy of clinical promotion and use.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To explore effect of rubusoside(RS) on myocardial injury in gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) rats and its mechanism.Methods:Pregnant SD rats were divided into control, GDM model, insulin treatment(INS), RS, endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid(4-PBA), and RS+ endoplasmic reticulum stress inducer thapsigargin(THA) groups. Glycolipid metabolism, cardiac function, serum LDH, cTnI, and CK-MB levels, myocardial tissue morphology, SOD, GSH, MDA, Fe 2+ content were assessed. ROS levels were assessed using DHE staining, and iron ion deposition was evaluated via Prussian blue staining. The expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress and ferroptosis related proteins in myocardial tissue after intervention was analyzed through Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Results:Compared with control rats, GDM model rats showed increased body weight, FBG, TC, TG, abnormal cardiac function, significant myocardial damage, elevated serum LDH, cTnI, CK-MB, reduced SOD and GSH, increased MDA, Fe 2+, ROS, and iron ions, along with altered protein expression indicating endoplasmic reticulum stress and ferroptosis. RS and 4-PBA mitigated these changes, reducing myocardial injury. THA reversed RS′s protective effects via the endoplasmic reticulum stress-ferroptosis pathway. Conclusion:RS improves glycolipid metabolism and alleviates myocardial injury in GDM rats by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and reducing ferroptosis.
